After the previous round, four leaders of the second league teams resigned, but if such decisions of Vitaliy Kunitsa (Bukovyna), Igor Kharkovshchenko (Minai) and Vitaliy Kostyshyn (Podillya) can be explained by the failures of their wards, then about Oleg Shandruk. you can't say that from Veres, because Rivne won the last two matches.

Most likely, the coach wanted to draw the attention of the football community to the rather long delays in the club with the salary. Veres players were not left out either, as they said a few days ago that if the debts were not eliminated, they would boycott Sunday's match against Polissya. However, the scandal was avoided: after a meeting with the club management Shandruk decided to stay, he convinced of the need to play with "Polissya" and his wards, although they warned that if they do not receive money within the specified period, then for the next match with "Minai" , will definitely not come out.

Also, after the meeting with the club bosses, Vitaliy Kostyshyn did not resign from Podillya, which is desperately fighting for survival.

In two more teams there were changes on the coaching staff. In Bukovyna, Roman Nesterenko, who had previously been Vitaliy Kunitsa's assistant and was responsible for training goalkeepers, found himself at the helm. In Minai, Kyrylo Kurenko, who was the curator of the club's CYSS, will act as the head coach.

And the central match of the tour in group "A" took place in Vinnytsia, where the local "Niva" hosted "Cherkasy-Academy", which aimed to improve the class. It should be noted that the hosts did not have a leader - the disqualified Yaroslav Braslavsky, without whom there could be problems with the completion of attacks. Colins Ngaha's wards had to bet on long shots. And in the 17th minute, "Niva" took the lead after a well-placed shot by Denis Dolinsky. The guests - especially after the break - made a lot of efforts to escape defeat, but the hosts stood by the wall near their possessions. This victory allowed the people of Podolia to get closer to the leader.

Minaya footballers also scored three important points. Kyrylo Kurenko made adjustments to the starting lineup compared to previous matches, and the Transcarpathians quite confidently won over Kalush and again claim to be promoted in the class.

And in group "B" in the epicenter of attention was the confrontation in Kryvyi Rih, where "Miner", who has not lost points in the spring part of the championship, received the pursuer - "Metallurgist". It should be noted that the famous manager of the guests, Oleg Taran, could not count on three leading players at once - Yuri Sachko, Eugene Korokhov and Eduard Sarapiy, who were disqualified.

The debut was left to the hosts. Already in the 15th minute they opened the scoring: Serhiy Hvozdevych scored a penalty. But in five minutes "Girnyk" remained in the minority: Bohdan Sokol was removed from the field. The guests took the initiative, but it did not reach the dangerous moments. And yet, before the break, the Zaporozhians leveled the situation with the efforts of Alexei Razuvayev. And in the 47th minute Dmytro Oliynyk upset the goalkeeper of "Girnyk" for the second time. 1: 2. Metalurh could not be stopped, and soon the experienced Alexander Zeynalov increased the advantage of his team. "Metallurg" won a strong-willed victory and came close to the second place, which gives the right to transitional matches with one of the outsiders of the first division.
